Ingredients
For Malabar Paratha
3 cups plain flour (maida)
3 tbsp ghee

salt to taste
1 1/2 tsp oil for kneading
6 tsp oil for rolling
6 tsp ghee
plain flour (maida) for sprinkling
12 tsp oil for cooking
Method
For malabar paratha
- To make malabar paratha, in a deep bowl add plain flour, add ghee, sugar and salt. Crumble the mixture and knead into a soft dough using enough water. Stretch the dough and knead well.
- Grease the dough with oil then cover it with muslin cloth and keep aside for 1 hour.
- Now divide the dough into 4 equal portions and cover with muslin cloth to avoid the dough from drying up.
- Take a portion of the dough and place it on a rolling board, flatten it slightly and use 1 tsp of oil over it and start rolling into a 175 mm. (7”) diameter thin circle without using any plain flour for rolling.
- Apply 1 tsp ghee all over the paratha and dust some plain flour evenly over it.
- Now make pleats by folding each layer on one another and roll it over again from one end to the other end to form a swiss roll and seal the open end tightly at the bottom in the centre.
- Gently roll again into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using ½ tsp of oil.
- Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the paratha by gently pressing it, using 2 tsp of oil, till golden brown spots appear on both the sides.
- Repeat steps 4 to 8 to make 3 more malbar parathas.
- Serve the malabar paratha immediately.
